And the runner up is... Rosalind Russell? Joan Crawford? Susan Hayward?
I had the pleasure of joining Kevin Jacobsen on his great podcast series "And the Runner Up Is..." for a fourth time. Kevin opted to assign me 1947 when I asked for this decade. So listen in to hear us talk about the following lineup which has two great performances, one coaster nomination, a bullet dodged, and one of my mother's favourites from her childhood.
- Joan Crawford, Possessed
- Susan Hayward, Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman
- Dorothy McGuire, Gentleman's Agreement
- Rosalind Russell, Mourning Becomes Electra
- ★ Loretta Young, The Farmer's Daughter
Which of those performances do you love?
